RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Sixteen Palestinian youths were injured on Friday after Israeli forces opened fire on protesters during clashes near al-Jalazun refugee camp north of Ramallah.

Israeli forces fired live bullets and rubber-coated steel bullets at demonstrators on the main road near the central West Bank refugee camp, as protesters marked two days since a youth from the camp named Muhammad Mubarak was shot dead by Israeli forces.

Medical sources told Ma'an that one of the injured, Mohammad Husam Safi, was shot with a live bullet in the neck and is currently in critical condition.
